They’re back!
Tommy and the gang are returning in an all-new 26-episode Rugrats series revival from Nickelodeon, but that’s not all, they’ll also return to the big screen in a live-action film from Paramount.
Both the TV series and the movie will include new adventures with the iconic characters Tommy, Chuckie, Phil, Lil, Susie, and Angelica, and will also introduce a new world of characters.
Original series creators Arlene Klasky, Gábor Csupó and Paul Germain will return to the new series as executive producers. Rugrats the series will be produced in Burbank, California, with production already underway.
The Rugrats movie will be written by David A. Goodman and is set to be released on November 13, 2020, by Paramount Players, the division of Paramount Pictures that develops and produces co-branded feature films with Viacom’s flagship cable networks. Rugrats is the seventh film to come out of the cross-company initiative, launched at the beginning of 2017.
This will be the fourth Rugrats movie, joining The Rugrats Movie (1998), which introduced Tommy’s younger brother Dil, Rugrats in Paris: The Movie (2000), which introduced Kimi and Kira, and Rugrats Go Wild, a crossover film with fellow Klasky Csupo series The Wild Thornberrys, released in 2003.
Rugrats joins the recently announced return of Blue’s Clues as the latest classic original series Nickelodeon is reviving. Nickelodeon produced and aired an all-new Hey Arnold! special in 2017, and has announced the return of two more beloved titles as forthcoming specials: Rocko’s Modern Life and Invader Zim.
